How do you play Slots? (long sessions / jumper / focussed)

[Hodoor]

Playing with the minimum bet and hunting for a bonus is my go-to strategy. I'm not a very experienced slot player, so I don't know if that's the best or not, but I find it more fun to hunt for the bonus than aimlessly spinning the slot.

I've brought up this conversation before and kind of got a lock of flack for suggesting that there might be some legitimate ways to learn how to get an advantage when playing.  It sort of seemed like there's no proof at all that any strategies work, however my buddy and I who've I've been going to casinos with since we were of age, always would play slots after a player had sat on them for hours on end.  Likely zero true advantage here, but it was a strategy that we liked and ended up working a decent bit.

When I was a student, my friends and I also used this strategy and it worked fine in land-based casinos. Beer and friendly company contributed to keeping track of all the slots in the casino without fatigue for 2-3 hours. Unfortunately for a few years now I can only afford to play at online casinos, so now I can not use this strategy and I have to rely only on luck.

The main difference when you do deal with physical slots and online ones is that you could really be having that real experience on various things which you can attached and able to engage with not like when you are dealing with online which you would really be just facing monitor and trying out to test several slots without having those real life experiences.Speaking about playing behavior then it would really be varying because
some would really be that having jumping style on testing out other slots whenever they do experience consecutive losses and some would really just stick out and trying out to persevere on hitting good spins
until they do bust up their overall capital.

I guess mood affects us with that change of behavior and why some keep on looking until they find the fitting slots for them. It's the preference that they have and sometimes it's different from us and sometimes it's the same preference.

Actually that's true. Mood plays a big role and most of the time and it varies per user while having in the session.

Depends on the slot if that gives us winnings, that's the time we will decide if to continue playing on that slot or go on to others.

That's the reason while sometimes I'm doing the Option A then if my mood swings, I will do the Option B. If what slots will give me a good winnings, I will stick for it until I realized that something is not good now.

Right, that only proves that when we're having the mood swings. That preference will have to change because of what we think and what our thoughts will be on whether we'll stay or we want to find a better one that we're having the luck for the entire day.

Playing with the minimum bet and hunting for a bonus is my go-to strategy. I'm not a very experienced slot player, so I don't know if that's the best or not, but I find it more fun to hunt for the bonus than aimlessly spinning the slot.

As long as you're having fun and you're winning some with it then that's a good strategy for you. If you continue doing it and you're just having fun, I guess that there's no worry and reason for you to change that strategy.

Option A mostly.
I would not feel satisfied until I get a good roll before stopping, in my standards a 10x it is a good enough win in order to stop playing or switch to other thing or activity. Unfortunately, it is rare when I manage to get good luck before running out of satoshis, that is why I nowadays I try to avoid slots.

The eagerness to win some also makes me stay longer in one slots, I rarely jump into other games though it happened as well before which still gives me the same result. Well, if you really want to feel better then changing game can be a big help but still no guarantee of making money since this is gambling. I consider myself as a jumper most of the time but if I love the game and if its entertaining, i might stay long.

Not wrong at all. Patience is the key.

But sometimes, there's a time that we need to change that approach when after a long period of playing, still, the supposed winnings are always avoiding us. Not wrong to switch slots when that thing happened. It's also a refreshment when after a long time of playing in one slot but no such result as hitting a good win.

That's what I always do.

^ This could be a martingale strategy and you probably need more funds for this, just to sustain the game and reach your standards.
Option A is prone to addiction which is if you do not control yourself the result could be an addiction, there should be a limit per session, either win or loss we must stop gambling. Playing slots are based on luck, if you feel that you don't have it, just stop gamble and come back after taking a break, there is no need to chase your losses in slot games, the more your eager will resist the more losses will probably the result.

Don't forget the fact that the longer we play on a slots, the possible longer dead spin streak we may experience.  So changing or jumping into another slot is one way of avoiding a series of dead spins.  But of course, jumping slots has also its disadvantages.

Fortunately I dont think I am prone to develop a gambling addiction and in those cases I did not have anough funds to sustain the session to go for a Martingale strategy, so I was completely trusting my luck, as expected this did not give me any earning those days I decided not to continue.

I personally would like to learn how to play poker and participate against others in person (face-to-face) so I can also depend on my skills of deception and not only on luck.

What strategy do you think, will lead to the maximum profits? (Variance and RTP of each slot also determine the way that you are supposed to play on the different slots)

Let's discuss..... 

Well, technically speaking since the expected value of gambling is negative then the maximum profit strategy would be to not play at all, but where's the fun in that? 

Instead of maximizing profits, I prefer to maximize fun, so if I'm in a casino I would just put a bit of money in a slot machine, and play until the money runs out or until I win. If I get bored I'll just go all in and leave after whatever happens next.

If you don't play at all, maybe you can do other activities outside of your regular activities so that you can have fun besides gambling.
The strategy of maximizing fun in gambling is good but must be accompanied by good self-control so that we are not tempted to spend more money on one bet.
If you get bored, I suggest leaving gambling immediately and don't use all the money and leaving after that one round is over.
It will make you deposit some more money next time and I don't think it's a good way to have fun gambling.
But if the money used to enter is not too big, maybe it's okay because the risk of losing it won't be too big either.

there are 3  options given above and seems that yours goes to 1st category , if you wanted to explore more in Slot gaming then best to give time trying those other 2 options in which may save you from losing or at least having more fun in playing/betting in slot machines.

I go for option B but mostly i try all of those for better result In different gambling/casino sites.

Ive seen a lot of people doing the same strategy with this like making a small bet and wait for the huge amount of multiplier afaik there's a thread right here at the same time that has a below $10 bet and still manages to win a hundred dollars of profit, do you experience the same time the reason why you stick with this strategy too? or just casual game with gambling moderately to seek fun?.

Yes, when I was much younger.. this strategy worked on the old coin Slot machines. You sat there watching and waiting for hours to see which machines are paying and how occupied it was, because in theory that machine filled up with coins and it was supposed to pay out when it was full. 

Things have changed a lot since then, now everything are digital and no coins are put into Slots. Most of these Slots are linked and several casinos are hosting the same Slots. (Even watching what the big streamers are playing is a waste of time) 

[inthelongrun]

As for me, casino slot machines are purely a game of luck so might as well enjoy playing them while waiting for luck. I usually jump into different slot games not just I am looking for luck but also to test them as well but I also set money and time limits. It's gonna be boring if I will focus on a single slot game so I only stayed most of my time when I keep winning in a certain slot game otherwise I will just try the other slot games.

Well, maybe that strategy worked for him since he used it as his main strategy. Maybe we can make different strategies from it because each of us may have different goals in playing slots. But whatever the strategy, we must be able to use our moments to have fun playing slots because who knows, by using the same or different strategies, we can get big wins. But if our goal is to make money from gambling, I think we will always modify every strategy we know to have a greater chance of winning.

It's a common way of playing slots whereas you play with a minimal amount and try to win or even make your game longer to have a better chance of winning the jackpot. In this way, you can maximize the enjoyment and fun while not caring if you lose as you've only bet for a small amount. It's not a great strategy though if you want to win a lot but it's a great way to enjoy the game and avoid gambling addiction and such.

Agree with what you say because indeed when playing slots on machines and now when online, this is clearly very different.
It's actually logical when waiting for hours in front of the machine to get profit because I hope the coins there are full but for things that are online of course this will not be the same and it will only be useless in my opinion spending as much money with a strategy like this even though the chance is still there but it's a little tricky when online.

There are a lot of myths associated with playing slots, and this is one of them. These myths can prove to be very costly if you let them influence your decisions while playing. There's actually no truth to this bit of slot machine wisdom. In other words: if you want to take someone's seat at a slot machine that they've been playing at a while, you won't make any more money than you would otherwise. The math behind gambling is pretty complicated, especially because slot machines have a random number generator at their core. Therefore, there's no way for anyone to pinpoint exactly which slot machine will pay out the most in a certain time period or under certain circumstances.
